[edit] Joseph E. Barber

Obscure college basketball player known for one thing: ESPN named him to its 2003 NCAA tournament "All-Hair" team. I don't think that's enough. NawlinWiki 17:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Has he played as a professional? If so he might be a keep per WP:BIO. Oldelpaso 19:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Response Never played in NBA as far as I can determine. NawlinWiki 20:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Then a Weak delete. Plenty of Ghits, but seems to be on the edge of the notability threshold. Could do with some input from people familiar with what is/isn't notable in basketball though. Oldelpaso 21:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He hasn't played as a professional because he was still in college through the most recent season. [1] The NBA draft in which he could be drafted is still a week away. However, I have not found any evidence that he is a pro prospect, and making the "all-hair" team is not the kind of sports achievement which warrants an encyclopedia article. If he makes it to the NBA, the article can be re-created at that time. --Metropolitan90 04:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. agree with Metropolitan90 above. Come back when he makes the NBA -- MrDolomite 21:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
